Here are the instructions for the manual starting of the generator with rope and handle . I tried it . It’s easier to start the dam’ed truck with the startîng handle than to try to start the generator this way !

Default Noise test

Today i started the Onan generator , closed the generator compartment and box doors and took sound measurements with a ( dB )app . 84 (dB) the result . I posted a video in the MLU Facebook page. I had already added a Brighs & Stratton small engine silencer to the exhaust pipe . I can only imagine how loud this équipement would be without !

According to OSHA anything higher than 85 dB is considered harmful .My conclusion is the operators were working in a difficult environment.With the constant noise , the small cramped box , the smell of exhaust and the constant monitoring of assigned frequencies the guys were working hard .Bless them for their service !
